For the first time in a season and a half, the Wisconsin football team intercepted the opposing team more than once.
The Badgers’ safety combination of Leo Musso and Tanner McEvoy picked Miami (Ohio) quarterbacks Billy Bahl and Drew Kummer three times Saturday.
The last time the Badgers did that was Nov. 2, 2013 at Iowa.
Musso had two interceptions, and was the first Badger to record multiple picks in a game since Chris Maragos did it against Michigan State on Sept. 26, 2009.
Forcing turnovers is an identity third-year defensive coordinator Dave Aranda has tried to create at Wisconsin, and Saturday’s defensive performance showed his players are buying into the mentality.
